    Run the Z offset wizard from the LCD. It is under UTILITIES -> WIZARDS
    If you do this and it does not improve you can manually adjust the Z offset from the LCD* as well, but generally the wizard will get it right.



    *I can give you instructions on that

    For the wizard -- if you did run it before and it is what we saw, this time get the nozzle closer to the bed (by adjusting it down until the paper is harder to move).

    Ok I have tried this I went two extra clicks after I felt resistance and it still happens less but it happens please look at the video, plus can you see the some of my pictures I have been testing, all robo sample file are perfecto or close to perfect to my knowledge, but I have been testing with other prints like a crossbow and I see something odd right above the raft so when I peel the fat off some times a couple of layers come off with it. Im also posting pictures of a Benchy.

    Still too high. Either rerun the wizard and go even more clicks down or we can manually do it.

    If you went 2 clicks down, go 4. How tight the paper seems when doing the wizard is less important than how good that first layer looks :) At least yours looks largely even (not higher in some spots than others) and that is good because sorting that out is more difficult.

    I see the difference Its more like using a paint brush untested of a ketchup bottle, is this good or should I go lower?

    The good news is that once you set this -- write it down and it should never need to change.

    That looks workable. I'd say try a full print and see how it works.
    Worst case you might want to go a very small bit closer, but test it first and see.

    Workable with a little clean-up. I you want to invest the time, try lowering it a tiny fraction more (maybe one more click).
    Or manually edit it to be -9.0 for example.

    Utilities->Options->EEPROM->Home Offsets

    There you will see Z and you can select it and manually edit it.
